This has given me yet another opportunity to post my fan-theory/head-canon regarding the "look" of the Founders--particularly the leader. Some say that the leader (the "Female Changeling" which I guess is all we get for a name for her) chose her "look" to resemble Odo, but my theory is that this look is the "default" form they use when dealing with humanoid solids because they once encountered the Progenitors and found them to be an inspiration. Which is why the Founders did things like evolve the Vorta and create the Jem'hadar. So they choose to look like a Progenitor when interacting with solids (it's also a fun way to acknowledge that the same actress portrays both the Female Changeling and the Progenitor in the above image)
Pink was removed so that there would be six colors. This was done so that when the flag was hung on lamp-posts as a banner, there would be three colors on each side, iirc
Can't really argue, though I do want to add that the Excelsior also gives it a run.
Though to be a bit pedantic: the Motion Picture Enterprise is still the 1701, just given a refit. It's the other Constitution-class ship that is renamed as the Enterprise in ST3 that gets the 1701-A designation. Both are identical ships.
MCU Thanos. Dude is a complete idiot. With the stones he could basically be a god and do whatever he wants, but chooses to half the universe in order to stretch resources... except that doesn't actually do that. He halved all life. Most resources are themselves alive. And even then he's only kicking the can down the road a bit. Why not double the resources? Why not fundamentally change life so that it doesn't have to use as much?
The comics version works because it turns out that his justifications are bullshit; dude just wants to impress Death because he loves her.
I will grant that MCU Thanos works in the sense that he's a tough-guy moron who surrounds himself with yes-men, which only enhances his danger. But I don't think that this was the intent in how they wrote him.
His turn to the dark side is just so damn abrupt. Even Clone Wars, which does a lot to flesh out Anakin as a character, doesn't even really show us the gradual seduction of the dark side on him.
I mean, I only shared it in reference to the supposedly Christian guy getting upset at the sight of a pride flag as though it's completely counter to Christian belief and practice, meanwhile there are Christian churches that solemnize same-sex marriage, ordain openly gay and trans clergy, etc. Wasn't really aiming for social points. But thanks for the comment!
This reminds me that I once, in the name of humor, tried to whip up a progress pride-inspired Confederate flag as a trolling tool and it's among the most cursed things I've ever seen. Pretty sure I deleted it from existence...
(ALT: The words "The Episcopal Church" in white above a variation of a shield graphic that has a blue field in the upper left with a series of white crosses forming an X shape; pink, blue, brown, black diagonal stripes on the right; the classic Pride rainbow colors of purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red forming the remaining sections with a white cross holding them all together)
EDIT: I tried to use a spoiler tag/format but I apparently suck at that. Sorry. Don't sue me!
Hell, there was a time where a single captured swear word like this would get the religious right all worked up and create a legit scandal. Pretty sure there was a lot of work done to keep LBJ's famous potty-mouth concealed from the public. Remember when GOP got upset about Rahm Emmanuel telling someone to go "fuck themselves" or when then-VP Biden was caught on a hot mic telling Obama "you fucking earned this" or whatever it is he said about some accolade. "Let no filthy speech come from your mouth" it says in the Bible. "Unless it's our preferred politician" they added with an asterisk.
Not sure if this actually counts for the question, but I had a friend who called the Hittites “hitty-titties” when we had a Bible class together, as a way to remember them for a test. I still think of that whenever I come across the word Hittite.
I actually like Jake. That being said, I always find it amusing when I read the production notes section of any episode of DS9 on Memory Alpha and I come across "Cirroc Lofton does not appear in this episode." Part of me wants to believe that Jake or his agent went through every episode to look for the ones he/his client was not in.
Went to a moving sale a few weeks ago. Dude had a ton of computer and gaming related stuff. But what caught my eye was the translucent purple Drop mechanical keyboard. I was never a keyboard girlie. But I became one for that beauty.
My grandfather straight up told this to my aunt when she was a kid. Even went so far a few days later to tell her that he could see leaves starting to sprout when he looked in her ears.
